Sup guys. If you're a reader of my blog, mikemehlman.net, then hopefully you'll enjoy this podcast experience. This is sorta just an "audio experiment" for the time being. Maybe you'll find this podcast boring as fuck. Or maybe you'll get some value out of it. Either way, I'm humbled and grateful for your time.

I talk about how I'm not special and how several narrow probability windows aligning perfectly is what propelled me into my mindset today.

People will impose their judgments on others without any context. I don't want this clip to come off like I'm preaching, but I really do want to drive home the point that if people judge you, especially without having context, they're weak, not you. This clip isn't long, and it abruptly cuts off toward the end, but it was either discard it or just post as is, hoping it will give you some value.

An important talk about how approach/rejection relates to entitlement. In this video we delve into any potential negative reflex responses we might have to getting rejected. Even if we come from a genuine place of non-neediness, we're not perfect and are always looking to improve. So if there is ever that inclination to take a rejection, followed by a 0.6-second "F off" in one's head, this talk presents a deeper analysis as to why that might occur - i.e., this talk goes into the psychology behind a male's response to rejection.

I've talked about in my blog, podcast, and other videos how the more experienced you are, the lower your percentages. Not the other way around. I inculcate/hammer this point to really reinforce for you that if you're being bold and aggressive enough, you SHOULD BE getting rejected a high % of the time. But then a reasonable, secondary question arises: when are low %s simply a result of mere inefficiency.

The female natural state is to experience hesitation receiving an approach the same way a male hesitates making one. That’s another reason you should never take anything personally.
This will probably be more of a "bombshell" podcast. This will particularly bring value to those who engage in polygamy who question the notion of longer term relationships, love, and family.
Always be willing to walk if the interaction isn't what you're looking for. You never know, your non-neediness might just reward you in an unexpected way.
I talk about in one of my articles how the more we transfer emotionally heavy thoughts to an external location, the less of a big deal they become. I imagine the reason I'm willing to put this deeply personal podcast out there for you to hear is because this is part of that process for me. In other words, the mere act of producing this marks one of the major/monumental steps in my character evolution away from insecurity surrounding my appearance. I hope this clip provides you value in some way - I hope this gives you the cover and shielding you need to help you see that none of us are alone in terms of having deeply personal issues that we try to grow past.
No one is entitled to a high level of confidence. I've talked about in the blog how I believe confidence comes from experiencing and overcoming repeated rejection/adversity. If you want a high confidence level, you have to expose yourself to high levels of adversity (i.e., rejection) day in and day out. There's no right or wrong as far as "what level" you're at, but don't carry the entitlement or expectation that your neediness will magically go away if you don't actually put in the work to absorb rejection.
Confidence only comes with long-term, repeated, daily adversity (i.e., lots and lots and lots of rejection). You are - no one is - entitled to confidence.
Doesn't matter how smart you supposedly are. Never tacitly use your intellect as a justification for non-action when your intuition truly says action is warranted. Ask yourself: are you not approaching/making a life decision because that's *really* the healthiest thing for you, or do you simply carry fear of the repercussions. One of the things that allows me to be successful is I don't fear a negative outcome. I embrace loss.
After graduating med school, I gave up the career in order to move to move to east Asia, learn about language and culture, and write. Haven't looked back since.
I don't believe there's anything wrong with creating width of content in order to reach more people, but I think one should be self-aware and then devote more time to strengths vs weaknesses. In other words, writing is my core, and although I'm exploring audio and video, I'm still aware that my DNA makes me more of a silent, writer-type.
In this clip I talk about leaving instantly if the girl is unreceptive. Never force anything. Pushing back against a girl's unreceptiveness in any form - and it doesn't matter how "nuanced" - is neediness.
This is a short and very valuable clip in terms of not taking rejection personally. I also talk about approaching a second girl in the plain site of a girl who just rejected you.
Once again, I'm sorry for being an asshole and having TERRIBLE static in this episode. Couldn't edit it out. So it was either throw it away or just upload. (And no, I don't have an interest in re-recording contrived shit.)
JUST A HEADS UP: I'm so sorry for the terrible static on this clip. But I believe the candid content is too important to ultimately delete this episode.
There's no such thing as serendipitous encounters. There's no such thing as getting fucking lucky. 99% of the time, you "getting lucky" is really you going out of your way to put yourself in the right place at the right time. You didn't "accidentally go to that party." You didn't "accidentally decide to go out for dinner," vs staying at home all day, which was when you bumped into that girl "so serendipitously" on the street.
In this clip I talk about how to finally make the leap to move abroad. If you've been thinking of dropping the life you have now and just going for it, listen to this clip.
This short clip discusses some points of contrast and similarity between day and night game. Here are some articles from my blog on the topics:

My general sentiments regarding introducing oneself to 2+ girls at once, while solo. I talk in more detail about this here: http://mikemehlman.net/2017/10/28/approachingsolo/
A short clip about breaking free from others' opinions. I really hope this brings you value. Also, I've written a lot on this topic here: http://mikemehlman.net/2018/01/20/living-true-to-yourself/
This is about what to do when you get a date back to your place. If you make it through this short clip, the latter input is particularly important. Thanks again for listening!
This short clip is essentially a reiteration that the initial interaction you have with a girl has zero correlation with whether she will actually follow through or not. If you want more detail on this topic, I wrote an article here on it: ( http://mikemehlman.net/2017/10/27/the-initial-interaction-means-absolutely-jack-shit/ )
The title is self-explanatory. This short clip isn't about any type of bar/club scene pull. It's about how to transition into taking a girl home on the first "real date" you go on, as well as the psychology behind that process.
In this episode I talk about why my blog exists and the tremendous gratitude I have for the mindset I hold. I also talk a little about confidence and rejection. Thanks so much again for listening. ~Mike
